From the book entitled "The Free State - A History and Place-Names Study
of Livingston Parish" by the members of the Livingston Parish American
Revolution Bicentennial Committee in cooperation with the Livingston 
Parish Police Jury and the Louisiana American Revolution Bicentennial
Commission, 1976.  Reprinted by permission.  Dedicated to the memory of
Reuben Cooper and Raymond Riggs.

BROWN CEMETERY is in Section 49, T9S-R4E near the Amite River.  It was the

family cemetery of Gregory Brown, who settled on the property in the year 1809,

but there are no signs of its location today.  Probably the markers were 

crosses made of cypress and iron which have deteriorated through the years. (1)
